I might run a little less overlap, but if I had that cam laying around, I'd stick it. That is not a big cam for a 6.0. Esp with worked 243s. And, I dont think you need to run such a huge stall. I think you could get away with a 3200, maybe lower. Im guessing this is going to be a street truck you take to the track. IMO, you could give up a little down low for better street ability. I mean a WOT punch off the line in "Mexico" with a 4k stall and 4.10s is going to blow the tires off bigger than ****.

So IMO, you have room for more cam or run less stall.

I run 42#'s in my cammed 6.0

Nice parts list. It would put me on a sugar packet diet, lol. Truck should run a like a beast tho.

I read through the whole thread. I heard about some issues with tuning the truck 102. You tried running one?

Man, I apologize. I didn't realize you had all this stuff. If I were you, I'd run what I had and stop second guessing. I'd get it running and see what you want changed after a couple thousand miles and a few races.

Just to answer your question, if it were me, I'd run something close to a MS3, but with a little less lsa.

putting the motor together this weekend. I got my ARH Lt's and Circle D Converter. Ended up going to 3600 stall, said with weight of truck it will slip towards 3900 or more, and still be decent for streetability.

Sorry to just jump in but quick question about those 8.1 injectors. I've got a 408 lq9 getting close to done and would those handle those extra cubes? I'm having a little trouble finding injectors haha
